Hungrytown6:00 pm, Tuesdsay, July 7
Hungrytown is the musical and married duo of Rebecca Hall and Ken
Anderson. They have released two highly acclaimed CDs, Hungrytown (2008)
and Any Forgotten Thing (2011), both of which continue to receive much
airplay on folk and Americana stations worldwide. Rebecca and Ken tour
full time; their adventures have taken them throughout the US, Canada,
Europe and New Zealand. Their songs have been performed by many other
artists, including Nashville songwriting legend David Olney and
bluegrass veterans the Virginia Ramblers. Hungrytown’s music has also
appeared on several television shows, including the Independent Film
Channel’s hit series, Portlandia. Before Hungrytown, Rebecca made two
well-received CDs under her own name (with help from Ken behind the
scenes), Rebecca Hall Sings! (2000) and Sunday Afternoon (2002). Rebecca
learned to sing in church as a child, and had developed into a skilled
interpreter of jazz and blues standards by the time she was in her 20s.
Her discovery of roots music coincided with the reissue of the Harry
Smith Anthology of American Folk Music in 1997, and inspired her to
write her own material. She soon developed a reputation for crafting
classic, instantly memorable songs, weaving modern themes into
traditional song structures. “Rebecca Hall is a true rarity: a new folk
classicist. ” wrote Daniel Gewertz of the Boston Herald . Ken is an
accomplished multi-instrumentalist as well as a talented producer and
arranger. He learned to play drums and keyboards as a child, and has
since moved on to bass, guitar, mandolin, banjo and harmonica. He also
has a remarkable gift for musical harmony, and is responsible for
Hungrytown’s luxuriant vocal stylings. Having produced all of their
recorded works, his artistry has been singled out for praise: “Anderson
has a knack for crafting rich arrangements that don’t clutter things
up,” writes Casey Rea of Seven Days (VT) magazine. When not touring with
Rebecca, Ken is often hiding out in their home studio, Song Catcher
Recording, working with other songwriters and instrumentalists.
“When not performing, this duo is known as Rebecca Hall and Ken
Anderson and you will need to go a long way to find a more talented and
likeable couple. Their music mixes the snow of their home in Vermont,
the dew on the grass of a cool summer morning in the Appalachians, the
hard-scrabble grittiness and pluck of common folk the world over
together with the melancholy of lost loves, broken hearts, and shattered
dreams,distilling it into an intoxicating, hauntingly seductive blend
that you always want more of. Their music impresses with its range and
depth, running from a shy lover’s soft,gentle caress to a hardened,
bitter fist shaking against an evil fate, to a wry, ironic,self-mocking
sense of humor. Their voices, each a thing of wonder in its own
right,when combined completely bowl you over and by turn lift you to
dizzy heights of joy and dash you to aching sadness. If you enjoy folk
music with substance and style, your appetite for Hungrytown will never
be satisfied.” -Mark Pendleton La Cruces (NM) Sun News
